Patent AU-1720492-A (AU)
Title: Variable data rate channels for digital networks
IPC: H04J3/16
Filed: 1992-05-27
Abstract: Communication channels provided by the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) usually carry 64 Kbits/sec in each direction and are therefore unsuitable for data traffic at higher rates. This difficulty can be overcome by assembling ISDN channels to form channels having a higher bit rate. However problems arise, for example, in the transmission of data packets where the bit-rate required changes frequently and therefore the number of channels grouped together must be changed often. These problems are tackled as now described. Data packets are received from local area networks by a computer 13 and stored in queue areas 174 to 178 of a store area 173. The queue areas correspond to groups of ISDN channels which are combined to form high bit rate channels, known as slots and U-channels, respectively. The computer 13 assembles data from the queue areas into an ISDN frame held by a frame buffer 172 using an appropriate number of slots in the frame for each U-channel. ISDN frames are passed to conventional ISDN circuits in a terminal 11 which uses the ISDN to transmit to a similar terminal. On reception ISDN frames are passed to a frame store 182 and then slots in frames are passed to packet assembly buffers 184 to 188, one for each U-channel, before being passed to users as data packets. When a new slot is to be added to a U-channel without interrupting data in the existing slots, synchronisation signals are sent in the new slot and a system of flags is used to establish when data is to be sent in the new channel. When the bit-rate of a U-channel is to be reduced by removing a slot, a distinctive closing sequence is sent in that channel which on reception is an indication that no further data will be sent in that slot. <IMAGE>

Title: Methods of detection of amyloidogenic proteins
Inventor: KRISHNAMURTHY GIRIJA
IPC: G01N21/21
Filed: 2000-12-01
Abstract: A method/assay for detecting various aggregated forms of amyloid peptide using amyloid-specific spectroscopic probes, such as Congo red and related analogs, is described. Such an assay could be used to assess the aggregation state of the peptide in the presence of other potential inhibitors of fibrillogenesis, providing a useful model by which to test inhibitors of aggregation in in vitro models. Results of such an assay can be useful in determining the stage at which the process of aggregation can be intervened to reduce the toxicity of amyloid peptide to neuronal cells. In specific examples, circular dichroism, UV absorption, and fluorescence spectroscopy are each used to evaluate the aggregation form of beta-amyloid peptide.

Abstract: A method and system for providing basic command functionality and expanded command functionality between a plurality of devices in a network. When a first device is coupled to a home audio video network which includes a second device, a generic control module for the first device is generated by the second device. The generic control module is a basic abstraction of the capabilities of the first device. The generic control module enables the first device to respond to a basic set of commands from the second device. The second device then uses the generic control module to obtain descriptive information from the first device. The descriptive information describes the capabilities of the first device. The second device then generates a parameterized control module for the first device by modifying the generic control module based upon the descriptive information. The second device is then able to access the first device via the parameterized control module. The parameterized control module enables the first device to respond to an expanded set of commands from the second device.

Title: Method for fabricating micro-structures with various surface properties in multilayer body by plasma etching
Inventor: SCHMIDT WALTER
IPC: B01L3/00
Filed: 2001-01-30
Abstract: The technology is based on the anisotropic plasma etching of organic polymer sheets partially protected by a metallic mask. The originality of the process is to pattern the surface properties by the same physical means as the one used for the three dimensional fabrication and simultaneously to this fabrication. Surface properties means, but are not limited to hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity, conductivity, reflectability, rugosity and more precisely the chemical and/or physical state of the surface. It is also possible to generate the desired fonctionalities, for instance carboxylic acid, ester, ether, amid or imid, during the etching process. The patterning of the different properties may be achieved by two different techniques that may be used separately or simultaneously.

Title: Multi-track integrated spiral inductor
Inventor: CHANG JAMES Y C
IPC: H01L23/60
Filed: 2000-01-28
Abstract: An integrated receiver with channel selection and image rejection substantially implemented on a single CMOS integrated circuit is described. A receiver front end provides programmable attenuation and a programmable gain low noise amplifier. Frequency conversion circuitry advantageously uses LC filters integrated onto the substrate in conjunction with image reject mixers to provide sufficient image frequency rejection. Filter tuning and inductor Q compensation over temperature are performed on chip. The filters utilize multi track spiral inductors. The filters are tuned using local oscillators to tune a substitute filter, and frequency scaling during filter component values to those of the filter being tuned. In conjunction with filtering, frequency planning provides additional image rejection. The advantageous choice of local oscillator signal generation methods on chip is by PLL out of band local oscillation and by direct synthesis for in band local oscillator. The VCOs in the PLLs are centered using a control circuit to center the tuning capacitance range. A differential crystal oscillator is advantageously used as a frequency reference. Differential signal transmission is advantageously used throughout the receiver. ESD protection is provided by a pad ring and ESD clamping structure that maintains signal integrity. Also provided are shunts at each pin to discharge ESD build up. The shunts utilize a gate boosting structure to provide sufficient small signal RF performance, and minimal parasitic loading.
